THE QUEEN GOING TO SAN RENO.
New York, Dec. IA London dispatch
to the World says: A villa at San Reno
has been taken for the Queen, who will go
either in the middle of next month, or
about the third week of March. Prince
Christian, who left Windsor Sunday even
ing for Berlin, is charged by the Queen
with private mission on family affairs
to the Emperor William. The Emperor
of Austria will celebrate his jubilee next
December, and there has been much talk
about the court fetes and the gifts which
it was proposed to present to him.
Francis Joseph, however, is a Monarch
whose practices and principles differ from
those of our own royal family. 1t has
just been officially announced at Vienna
that it is His Majesty's wish that this an.
niversary should not be celebrated by any
pompous display such as the reception of
deputations and addresses of homage as
has been suggested by several corpora.
tions or by the reception of gifts, but
rather by works Of practical benevolence,
which will be more after the Emperor's
own heart.
The illness of the German Crown Prince
has been attributed to the fact that he
rarely has his pipe out of his mouth, and
no doubt his case is being hourly quoted
as warning against the evils of tobacco.
As matter of fact, the Crown Prince
never smokes pipe except when he is
campaigning, and then two pipes day
have been his usual allowance. As rule
he smokes three mild cigars day, or a
few cigarettes. Few Germans are such
moderate smokers as the Crown Prince
has always been.
GROWTH OF PROTECTION SENTIMENTS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Tfibune's
London correspondent cables the follow
ing: The most important piece of English
political news is the visit of Lord Ram
dolph Churchill to Lord Harrington. 1t
is an omen not perhaps of a new political
combination, but of closer alliance be-
tween the different sections of the Union.
ist coalition. Lord Harrington and Lord
Randolph Churchill have not been good
friends personally. 1t is now thought
certain that Lord Randolph Church
ill's return to the ministry can
not be long postponed. Lord Harrington
wants him in Office because no other Tory
does or can replace him. Since last weeks
conference the lines are being drawn moro
sharply. The Liberal Unionists think
there is little danger to the Tory party
or themselves from fair trade. No inn
portant poll ician has declared for it.
Lord Randolph Churchill, who was
looked upon as possible backslider,
shakes hands with Lord Harrington
across a gulf wide enough to bury more
formidable phantoms than fair trade out
of sight. Yet discomfort and distress are
great. The fair trade movement perhaps
wants only leader. A member of Par
Lament told me yesterday he was elected
as Free Trader, but that neither he nor
any body else could again carry his coun-
ty except as Protectionist. Farmers
and tradesmen alike had gone over to fair
trade.
DIR. MACKENZIE CONFIRMED.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-The hasty summon.
ing of DIR. Mackenzie to San Reno to at
tend the Crown Prince confirms that ex-
pert's original diagnosis of the patients
malady which led the physician to assert
that Fritz's recent exuberance of spirits
and freedom from discomfort was simply
phase of his disease and recruidscence
of the violent and alarming symptoms
which are certain to come sooner
or later. No one can deny that
the present cri sis bears out the doctors
assertions, and all are now inclined to ac-
cept his further statement that this may
pass away, leaving the patients condi-
tion as apparently hopeful as it was a
week ago. but only to return again with
increased signs of fatal result. The an
noun ncement from San Reno yesterday
that DR.. Mackenzie's apartments had been
given up, indicated that the patients
condition was very much improved, and
it is now evident that the rooms were
given up and the hopeful dispatch sent
ont without Mackan zie,s authority
POLITICAL AND MILITARY.
LONDON, Dec 14-The Partisan press
has taken more interest than usual in the
remarks of the leading American papers
concerning the change in the presidency
of the French Republic, observing with
complacency the congratulatory tone
adopted by the exponents of opinion in
their sister republic, and at the same time
appearing agreeably surprised at finding
matters so intelligently discussed. While
it goes without saying that M. Carnot's
election was as complete a surprise
in all the capitals of Europe
as ever was caused by any
political event, it may also be imagined
that NJ. Grevy's resignation, which made
Carnot's selection possible, was bitterly
opposed by his daughter, and Mime. Will
son is said to have made an intensely
theatrical scene in the Elysee in order to
1nduco ner IabneF TO atUer MS m1nO. Ne
Grevy may comfort himself with the
that if he has quilted his of
flee less regretted than any form
er official, either president or
none other has ever
saved so much money from the sti-
pend allowed him, the amounts named
widely differing, but all being very large.
While NJ. Carnot's election is looked upon
as victory for the peace loving bourgeois |
and peasant proprietor element, and while |
a tone of mild satisfaction has character
lied the utterances of the German press |
at his elevation, the battled promoters Of
outs who wish to
be mare no less active than
before. Whether the famous forged |
documents were really concocted |
by the Orleanists, trick of the Berlin |
stock -jobber, or one Of the German Chan
cellor's characteristic maneuvers, the dis. |
turbance they created proves how little it |
would take to plunge Europe into war. |
France, which would probably suffer the |
most by such a conflict, does not for |
moment relax her endeavors to place her |
army upon an effective footing, as if a |
war were to be daily expected, |
and work upon the forts around |
Toul is being hurried night and
day as if in answer to the German |
augmentation Of the defences at Metz. |
